I want to clarify that I personally have not been a client of Alysa's, but I was the videographer who worked alongside Alysa during Madalyn C's wedding. Full transparency, I am a f...
amily friend of Madalyn's, but I would provide the same feedback even if I had no relationship with the client.
While Alysa does direct clients well and produce beautiful photos, neither the client or myself had a great experience working with her. This was my first wedding to do videography for, and I am not a professional, but I was surprised at the lack of consideration throughout the day. It was very difficult at times to get the shots I wanted - she did not always allow me time to get the content. At times she attempted to direct me as to what videos I should take. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was trying to be helpful. All of my first dance footage and most of the exit footage was ruined by the continual flash on her camera. She lowered all the lights without considering what I would need for lighting. I wouldn't have minded if she had left a slot for me to take videos, but her flash went off the entire time for both events.
What shocked me was the lack of professionalism after the wedding. You can read Madalyn's review, but be aware that Alysa did not give her all the photos by the promised time, and when Madalyn left a three-star review, Alysa revoked her access to the wedding photos. Madalyn left a cautionary review and now cannot access the wedding photos that Alysa was contracted and paid to provide.
While Alysa is a talented photographer, her business practices are concerning. Download all of your photos before leaving anything less than a five star review.
We had an overall mixed experience. Our engagement session was wonderful, and we love some of the engagement photos and wedding photos we did receive. I love the grainy vintage sty...
le that she does, and she was always very fun and kind to work with leading up to the wedding. What I originally found her, I absolutely fell in love with her photos and her editing style. We were honestly kind of disappointed when it came to my own photos back it didn’t seem like the same effort had been put into our wedding photos.
That said, the wedding experience itself was disappointing. While our day did run behind schedule a bit and was a bit hectic at some points, both photographers were running late as well. We received multiple comments from guests and members of our wedding party about her being not the nicest to them, which was upsetting to hear after the fact.
Additionally, our gallery was delivered several weeks past the promised timeframe. I had to follow up multiple times over the course of months to receive the remaining photos we had already paid for, there was a different excuse each time. We also paid for a second photographer, but only received a small handful of images from the photos they took, which was very frustrating considering the added cost.
While I do love a lot photos we got back and some of her editing work, the lack of communication, and delays made this a frustrating/ stressful process. I wanted to share an honest review so future couples know both the positives and the challenges we experienced overall it was a very disappointing and stressful experience.
Alysa is the BEST!!! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Throughout the whole process she was so professional and was so easy to communicate with. She made taking pictures f...
eel so comfortable and natural and truly captured the most beautiful pictures from our engagement pictures to our wedding day. She also did amazing helping us plan out a timeline for our wedding day, she’s just the best!
Alyssa was an absolutely AMAZING wedding photographer. She was so mindful of every single detail, while also making sure that it was such an enjoyable day for everyone. She was inc...
redibly helpful and was ready for anything that we needed. She, and her equally as awesome second shooter Layla, kept the energy up all day and didn’t miss a thing! I got package 3 for our wedding, and this was a STEAL! She should charge so much more because the amount of thought and work she puts into the wedding is more than I could’ve imagined. 10/10 best wedding photographer out there. She is so intentional with her craft and you can tell she loves what she does.
Alysa was so great! She was early to the venue, patient with my wilder bridal party members, but made sure to get the photos we wanted. Even when I was overheating from the sun and...
my 10000lb dress, she was patient and accommodating. We have a huge family and she was sure to squeeze everyone into our large portraits!
Alysa is everything we could have ever hoped for in a wedding photographer! She's flexible, reasonable and a very authentic person all around nevertheless she takes stunning, candi...
d photos! I feel like her photos truly capture the moment. My now husband was very nervous about the whole photo process and being posed. His worries were instantly relieved after the pre-trial photoshoot as she makes you feel very comfortable! Needless to say you should go with Alysa as your wedding photographer!
Alysa is an amazing photographer! Her ability to take breathtaking photos is out of this world. We have used her for our engagement photos as well as our wedding. She makes it a po...

ntion.
My husband even said he had a good time, he wanted to know when we’re having the next session, and demanded that only she is allowed to do it for the rest of our lives lol.
I am so grateful for the beautiful photos. I will love them for a lifetime and I’ve already sent them, posted them, and showed them to everyone I know. She’s amazing to work with and I would recommend her a million times.
Your only wedding regret would be to not hire her.
Trusting someone with capturing your big day is so hard. But this decision was so easy. Trust was built from our first interact...
ion. She was knowledgeable on every question I asked before hiring. She came prepared. I could not be happier.
She’s also the biggest hype woman out there. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. I was laughing and smiling our whole engagement shoot. She’s so good at making you feel like you’re on date with your s/o.
For our wedding she showed up super early. We walked around and talked while she got some pictures of the venue and was so reassuring and loving. Definitely helped me keep my nerves at bay. Also our photos !!!
I’m not an OMG person , but that’s exactly what I said. I cried. I still cry. These moments she captured we so perfect.
She took the time to get to know us. Our likes and dislikes, and what we envisioned and also gave me some helpful tips that I hadn’t even thought of. This woman is the kind of person you need and want to shoot your wedding.
She actually cares and it shines through in every single word and action she displays.
Five starts is simply not enough. Alysa went above and beyond any expectations I had. From the photos to just being helpful. She was supportive and encouraging and kind.
From star...
t to finish I felt like this girl wanted to be my friend. She was very responses and took her time to get to know me and what I envisioned for my wedding day. The first time we met in person was at a coffee shop to see if we were a good fit and i left and told my husband that we didn't even need to interview anyone else .
Our engagement session was a dream. Our wedding photos were everything I could have every imagined.
